HatsanUSA Multi-Caliber PCP Rifle: The Hydra QE

Yet another innovation from the Hatsan factory is their Hydra QE multi-caliber PCP air rifle. It features their patented Versi-Cal Technology interchangeable caliber system that allows the shooter to trade calibers with a single thumbscrew. The VCT system couples a caliber-specific receiver and barrel into a single interchangeable module that enables the scope to remain mounted and zeroed in with each caliber used. A knurled screw located at the rear of the receiver locks the upper module onto the lower receiver, allowing caliber changes in just a few seconds. Each module features Hatsan’s QuietEnergy shrouded barrel with integrated sound moderator, that reduces downrange noise by up to 50%. They Hydra QE also features Hatsan’s 2-stage, fully adjustable, match Quattro trigger.

Built with a fine Turkish walnut stock that is laser engraved with ample texturing on critical grip surfaces that enhance the feel and control of the rifle. A Monte Carlo style cheek rest rises to just the right height for use with scopes. The rubber butt pad is elevation and fit angle adjustable for a custom fit for each shooter. The Hydra QE utilizes Hatsan’s S/Roto-Index magazine system, a caliber-specific, self-indexing rotary magazine made from a lightweight, durable synthetic polymer. A fixed 165cc air cylinder fills to 2900 PSI, and can provide up to 35 powerful shots. This modular platform airgun is easy to carry and shoot, and it weighs in at just 6.8 lbs. The Hatsan Hydra QE is available in .177, .22, or .25 calibers - with additional barrel/receiver modules are available separately.
